  • Western Australia a History from Its Discovery to the Inauguration of the Commonwealth
    WESTERN AUSTRALIA A HISTORY FROM ITS DISCOVERY TO THE INAUGURATION OF THE COMMONWEALTH BY J.S. BATTYE, LITT.D. PUBLIC LIBRARIAN OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA. OXFORD AT THE CLARENDON PRESS 1924. OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS LONDON, EDINBURGH, GLASGOW, COPENHAGEN, NEW YORK, TORONTO, MELBOURNE, CAPE TOWN, BOMBAY, CALCUTTA, MADRAS, SHANGHAI. HUMPHREY MILFORD PUBLISHER TO THE UNIVERSITY. PREFACE. In view of the prominent part taken by Australia in the recent war, and the enthusiasm which the achievements of the Australian Forces have aroused throughout the Empire, the story of one of the great States of the Australian Commonwealth may not be without some general interest. The work has been the result of over twenty years' research, undertaken, in the first instance, in conjunction with the Registrar-General (Mr. M.A.C. Fraser) and his Deputy (Mr. W. Siebenhaar) for the purpose of checking the historical introduction to the Year Book of Western Australia. It has since been continued in the hope that it may prove a contribution of more or less value to the history of colonial development. In the prosecution of the work, the files of the Public Record Office, London, were searched, and copies made of all documents that could be found which related to the establishment and early years of the colony. These copies are now in the possession of the Public Library of Western Australia, which contains also most of the published matter in the way of books and pamphlets dealing with the colony, as well as almost complete files of the local newspapers to date, and the original records of the Colonial Secretary's Office up to 1876.

  • The Hydrogeology and Hydrochemistry of the Mt. Tom Price Mine, Pilbara, Western Australia – a Groundwater Flow Model
    The Hydrogeology and Hydrochemistry of the Mt. Tom Price Mine, Pilbara, Western Australia – A Groundwater Flow Model. ___________________________________ A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Engineering Geology with Honours in the University of Canterbury by NEIL MANEWELL ___________________________________ University of Canterbury September, 2008 ABSTRACT The Mt. Tom Price Mine, located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, has been the site of major iron ore mining since the 1960s by Rio Tinto Iron Ore/Pilbara Iron. The thesis project area covers approximately 121 km2, covering the Mt. Tom Price Mining area and the surrounding catchment boundary. The climate in the Pilbara region is arid, with rainfall driven by seasonal cyclonic events, producing 300 mm/year net rainfall on average. The geology of the Mt. Tom Price area consists of a series of banded iron formations (BIF) and shales that are generally low in hydraulic conductivity values. Iron ore in the region is produced through the process of supergene enrichment whereby gangue minerals are dissolved and replaced with haematite and goethite. Mining is focused in a series of open cast pits including, North Deposit, West Pits, Centre Pits, Southern Ridge, South East Prongs, Section Six, Section Seven, and the proposed Marra Mamba Pits. Due to the impermeable nature and complex geology of the BIF sequence, groundwater flow is dominated by bedrock aquifer flow, with compartmentalization occurring in several areas of the mine. Highly faulted and folded units can also have increased hydraulic conductivity values. Pit floor lowering began to encounter the regional water table in early 1994.

  • Pilbara Stygofauna: Deep Groundwater of an Arid Landscape Contains Globally Significant Radiation of Biodiversity
    Records of the Western Australian Museum, Supplement 78: 443–483 (2014). Pilbara stygofauna: deep groundwater of an arid landscape contains globally significant radiation of biodiversity S.A. Halse1,2, M.D. Scanlon1,2, J.S. Cocking1,2, H.J. Barron1,3, J.B. Richardson2,5 and S.M.

Abstract – The Pilbara region was surveyed for stygofauna between 2002 and 2005 with the aims of setting nature conservation priorities in relation to stygofauna, improving the understanding of factors affecting invertebrate stygofauna distribution and sampling yields, and providing a framework for assessing stygofauna species and community significance in the environmental impact assessment process. Approximately 350 species of stygofauna were collected during the survey and extrapolation suggests that 500–550 actually occur in the Pilbara, although taxonomic resolution among some groups of stygofauna is poor and species richness is likely to have been substantially underestimated. More than 50 species were found in a single bore. Even though species richness was underestimated, it is clear that the Pilbara is a globally important region for stygofauna, supporting species densities greater than anywhere other than the Dinaric karst of Europe. This is in part because of a remarkable radiation of candonid ostracods in the Pilbara.

INTRODUCTION This is the third in a series of regional avifaunas covering Western Australia. The first dealt with the Kimberley Division (Storr 1980, Spec. Pubis West. Aust. Mus. No. 11), and the second with the north-eastern interior ofthe State (Storr 1981, Rec. West. Aust. Mus. 9: 65-99). The scope of the present work is the same as the earlier papers, i.e. information is given for each species on local distribution, ecological status, relative abundance, habitat preferences, breeding season (defined by the months in which eggs are laid), clutch size (prefixed by C for eggs and nestlings, B fpr broods that have'left the nest but are still dependent), and movements.
